Top Car Detailing in Santa Monica, California

"After purchasing a 2025 Acura Integra Type S, I sought a reliable window tinting service in Los Angeles. Based on a recommendation from a neighbor, I chose Rapid Window Tinting. Their extensive selection, prompt service, and fair pricing exceeded my expectations. I'm so satisfied that I plan to return for more work in the future. For anyone seeking quality tinting or PPF services, I highly recommend this establishment."

"Their express wax service is fantasti My car's paint now shines brilliantly and feels well-protected. The chrome polishing was another highlight; it brought back the luster to my trim. The team even cleaned my trunk thoroughly, which many places overlook. The attention to detail, professionalism, and care they show is unmatched. I'm extremely pleased with how my car turned out--absolutely excellent work!"

"These guys always get our car in and out quickly. We like getting the Ultra Wash, and they wipe down the car with microfiber so it's dry when you leave. If they notice problems, like damaged areas of paint from a door ding, they'll point it out in case you haven't noticed yet. They can be quite busy on the weekends, but there's a seating area where you can wait."

"Robert has consistently provided amazing levels of help and patience to the local community. I have driven in on more than one occasion with nails and or screws from local construction sites embedded in my tires. 26th St auto center always helps out at fair prices and quickly helping me get on with life. Cannot recommend a local business more than I do 26th St auto center."

"Jorge Jara and his team did an amazing job! The interior of my car is spotless. They were very efficient. The outside of the car looks spectacular too. I would recommend their services and will use them again. It was a convenient and easy experience. Thank you!"

"Expensive at $29 for a basic wash but today my car wash guys did great! I noticed they cleaned nooks and crannies that some don't touch. They have a cashier area full of car stuff and snacks. Early birds get a $22 wash on weekdays. They've got a bunch of places to sit next to a table and wait."

"Not sure why this place doesn't have good reviews. For $32 and 20minutes later, the guys here scrubbed away at all the dead bugs that had gotten on my grill and windshield from the SF-LA drive. They wiped the insides, tires, windows and sunroof. They have a $14 express wash, which is basically a drive through car wash with some on hand involvement I feel anything in the $30-$40 package will be fine. Unsure how their $200+ packages work At that point just go get detailing, clay, ceramic coating for $300 elsewhere. Giving it 4.5 stars because I saw some small, hard to get rid off spots still remaining. Rounding it up to 5 stars to even the odds they have on Yelp."

"The staff here are friendly, the waiting area clean and well-stocked with all of the car wash amenities you'd expect (restroom, small gift shop, snacks and beverages.) The prices are a little high, but always ask about any promotions/coupons/specials. Mid-week, when it's slower, you can always negotiate a bit on the services and get a good deal. For longer services, the car wash is walking distance from a shopping center, Jack In The Box and a McDonald's. Free Wi-Fi is nice, too. Overall, they do a good job and I usually bring my car here for an annual detail. Would recommend!"

"Rock n Roll car wash is superior! Drive up and talk to the manager Josue. He's very helpful and has been working at the Car Wash for over 20 years. The staff is very courteous and friendly and they do a great job cleaning the car and they did it quickly as well. I highly recommend that you try them out if you live in the area and if you just happen to be driving by and your car is dirty then yeah stop in and say hi and let them clean your car. You'll be happy you did.rock and roll Car Wash, I love the theme also because I'm really a punk rock kind of guy. Did you know that Hermosa Beach is one of the birth places of punk rock especially here on the West Coast? Let the falcon fly."

"From the moment I received my Z71 back from Rivali, I knew I'd made the right choice. The craftsmanship is simply exceptional - and the proof is in the performance. I've been making near-weekly drives from LA to Mammoth through challenging winter conditions, and this vehicle has handled everything I've thrown at it with remarkable confidence. What truly sets Rivali apart isn't just their technical excellence - it's their genuine commitment to customer care. Their complimentary post-work inspection demonstrates how they stand behind their work. But what's even more impressive is the culture that owner Marc has built. As a Latino native of LA, I'm particularly moved by how he's created an environment where young Latino craftsmen from our community can thrive. The shop is immaculate, the atmosphere professional yet welcoming, and you can see the pride each team member takes in their work. This is exactly the kind of business that makes our city stronger. The value proposition is undeniable - while premium quality comes at a price, my experience with Rivali has exceeded expectations at every turn. Their stellar reputation in the community is well-earned through a combination of technical expertise, genuine customer care, and strong community values. For anyone seeking exceptional vehicle work backed by integrity and craftsmanship, I couldn't recommend Rivali more highly. This is a business that's doing things the right way, and they've earned a customer for life. "

"I had my car detailed at Sam's Auto Detail and was absolutely blown away by the level of care and attention they put into their work. It truly felt like they were treating my car as if it were their own. Every inch was spotless, and the results exceeded all my expectations. Now I fully understand why they have a perfect 5 star rating! It's more than well deserved. Their passion and dedication to what they do left a lasting impression on me. I'm still thinking about how great the experience was!"

"I recently had the pleasure of using JMac's Auto Detailing for a gloss enhancement (one step polish + 3yr ceramic coating) on my Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum, and I couldn't be more impressed! Jake took care of some minor to medium scratches and swirl marks that had accumulated over time and the results were amazing. My car looks like it just rolled off the dealership lot again like a brand new vehicle! Having owned this car for almost 2 1/2 years, I was really impressed with the transformation. Jake's attention to detail and dedication to his craft is top-notch. He was punctual, professional and genuinely honest, qualities that are hard to find in today's world. The customer service was excellent from start to finish and it's clear that Jake truly cares about the work he does. I have no doubt that anyone who works with him will be just as impressed as I was with both his craftsmanship and his personality, hardworking attitude. I wish Jake nothing but success in growing his business, and I'm confident he'll continue to impress his clients with both his expertise and great personality. Highly recommend!"

"The BEST place to install your dash cams, period! No need to search further, all the positive reviews are true. Jin, the owner is super friendly and professional. His shop is clean and super efficient. No appointment needed and they get you in and out in less than an hour, even with people lining up for his services. He has plenty of options for dash cams, but does not pressure you to buy his stock and was more than happy to guide me on what parts I needed if I wanted to buy my own... which I did since I wanted a specific camera features. The guy next to me was also satisfied with the tinting services he provided. (I will be back for the back window Jin! I didn't realize my old tint was melting which has been making it hard to see until you pointed it out to me). Great service and install, you won't be disappointed!"

"Frank helped us find the right product we needed for a job, and we were able to buy 5 gallons of it for future jobs. Spot free water is great here! Great customer service and products!"

"The best body shop I've been to in LA in the last 3 years since I moved here. Period. Had a car accident and need repairs (both for yourself and the other party) at a reasonable price? Go here. Need to fix scratches? Go here. Battery replacement? Go here. My husband and I had a car accident and received service for all of the above at New Image, and we're so glad we found this place. Izzy was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right. He's an amazing owner, mechanic, and human as a whole. The whole process was smooth, and my car came out looking better than ever. We literally can't thank enough "

"No fancy waiting room or snack shop here (won't subtract a star for that either). Just some hard-working guys who may or may not be sketchy, but turned out to do a great job. I agreed on $60 cash for a wash and wax. Is that expensive? Plus tip. They did offer the clay bar service for $150, but I turned it down and there was no pressure. I haven't had a car wash in over a year and they made my car (including tires, brakes, and interior) look brand new. Worth it to me. I walked to the brewery, had a beer, and 1 hour later I came back to a spotless ride."

"Absolutely thrilled with the service. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. The team arrived right on time, and their professionalism was evident. They transformed my car inside and out, leaving it looking brand new. The attention to detail was impressive; every nook and cranny was meticulously cleaned. The pricing was fair for the quality of service provided. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional mobile detailing. I will definitely be using them again! Five stars all the way! "

"Amazing work! Efficient, friendly, professional and honestly my car hasn't looked this good since I bought it! I'm so super happy!!!"

"I couldn't be happier with the incredible job Impero Motor Sports did on my Tesla Cybertruck! They wrapped it in flawless piano black, and the result is absolutely stunning. The attention to detail, precision, and quality of their work exceeded all my expectations. Huge shoutout to Mike for taking such good care of my car--his professionalism, expertise, and dedication made the entire process seamless and stress-free. From start to finish, the team at Impero Motor Sports delivered top-tier service, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my vehicle. If you're looking for the best in the business for wraps, customization, and top-notch service, this is the place to go! Highly recommend! "

"Great service! Vitor is so nice and does a very professional job, at great rates. Service was fast, my car felt brand new and he even gave my carpets a design! He even removed this sticker remaining that has been stuck in my window for ages. Recommended to my friends and to anyone in the area. Thank you!"

"Shiv was so nice and did such a great job! It was my first time trying to get this car detailed since I got it, and it definitely had over a year's worth of grime on it. Not too gross, but definitely needed some attention. I got the full detail for $297. We ended up splitting the service over the course of two days because it would get dark outside and Shiv wanted to make sure that all of the dirt was gone since it's hard to tell in the dark. Shiv also came to where I was at and so I didn't have to drive over anywhere, which was super nice. Because the service had to be spread out over two days, Shiv threw in a wax and ceramic coating for free!! I also have a car cover and a leather bumper cover, and Shiv cleaned those for me too! The wheels are especially shiny as well -- you could swipe your finger on the wheel and no dirt comes off. I really appreciated Shiv being very easy to communicate with and being very committed to a high level of attention to detail. I'll likely go back to have my headlights buffed and polished as a separate service. Super happy to have a clean car! You can see the before and after pictures attached."

"Cameron came on late notice and did a stellar job. Friendly, fast, and got the car looking brand new. Would trust him with the nicer vehicles too."

"I want to share my impression of the PPF protective film installation on my SUV. The job was completed in just two days and the result is simply amazing! The film fits perfectly, and all the edges are neatly folded, giving the car a clean and finished look. I'm especially happy that the body is now reliably protected from small damages, scratches, and dirt. Overall, I am very pleased with the quality of the work and the speed of execution. Highly recommend "

"Dabo does an amazing job! They are super efficient when I come to workout and have the car ready and waiting looking fresh and clean! Highly recommend."
